- I totally agree - the half hearted RISC-OS 3 icons are diabolical.
-
- Acorn had a chance to create a very stylish product but they missed
- it! (All the code's there - they just didn't sit a designer down in
- front of !Paint)
-
- Much as I hate to say it - take a leaf of out Apple's book - they even
- tell *third-party developers* to employ professionals to design icons.
